नहुने हाे र ?
- Manisha Gurung - 22030, Grade ... 10 February, 2022

बाटाे फरक गन्तव्य एउटै, के सँगै हिँड्न नहुने हाे र ?
मन एउटै, चाह एउटै, के नाम नि जाेड्न नहुने हाे र ? 
तिमीले वास्ता नगरे नि के सपना सजाउनै नहुने हाे र ?
मान्छे उस्तै, रगत एउटै, के थर नि बनाउन नहुने हाे र ?

त्यति टाढा भयाैँ अब के तिम्राे हात नि समाउनै नहुने हाे र ?
छाेडेर गए नि के सँगैकाे आभाष मनाउन नहुने हाे र ?
साथबाट निकालिदियाै, अब एक्लै संसार बनाउन नहुने हाे र ? 
छाेडेर त तिमीले गयाै, के अब म एक्लै रमाउन नहुने हाे र ?

विचार फरक, स्वभाव फरक, के अब बाेल्नै नहुने हाे र ?
तिमीलाई मन नपर्दैमा मेराे मन डुलाउनै नहुने हाे र ? 
जीवनभरकाे साथ छुटे नि एक छिन भेट्न नहुने हाे र ?
तिमी हुन्नाै थाहा छ, के एक्लै जीवन देख्न नहुने हाे र ?

मलाई के हुँदै छ ?
- Aarnov Adhikari - 23003, Grad ... 09 February, 2022

आजकल मलाई लाग्छ कि मेरो दिमाग सधैँ मैले के गर्ने भनेर सोचिरहेको छ । हरेक दिन म उठ्छु, तराेताजा भएर कक्षा लिन्छु । दिनचर्या उस्तै छ । त्यहाँ केही विशेष छैन, जुन केही अद्वितीय वा सामान्यभन्दा बाहिर हाेस् । यो लगभग म एकै दिन बारम्बार बाँचिरहेको जस्तै छ । त्यही दिन बारम्बार दोहोर्‍याउने पासाेमा फसेको महसुस गर्छु । यो एक काल्पनिक चलचित्रको एक चाखलाग्दो कथाजस्तै लाग्छ, जहाँ तपाईं बिउँझँदा जन्म लिनुहुन्छ र तपाईं सुत्दा मर्दै हुनुहुन्छ । मनमा केही विचार आउँछन्, यदि म निदाइनँ भने म यो भावनाबाट बाहिर निस्कन्छु ?

के मेरा कहिल्यै अन्त्य नहुने दिनहरू सधैँ उस्तै रहने छन् ? म याे सामान्य दैनिकीबाहिरकाे केही अनुभव गर्न चाहन्छु, केही मनमोहक । म एउटी परीले मलाई लाजमर्दो महसुस गराउन् चाहन्छु । मेरो जीवन यसरी बाँच्नु भनेको जेलमा बस्नुजस्तै हो । मसँग गर्नका लागि केही छैन, जसरी तिनीहरू भन्छन् खाली दिमाग सैतानको घर हो । त्यही भएर पढाइ र गृहकार्यमा आफूलाई समाहित गर्ने प्रयास गर्छु तर अनौठा आवाजहरूले मेरो दिमागलाई घुमाउँछन् । तिनीहरू कराउँछन्, तिनीहरूले मेरो कल्पनालाई लुट्छन् र मलाई भन्छन् "तपाईंले हिजो पनि त्यस्तै गर्नुभएन र ? तपाईंले जीवनमा गर्नुभएका सबै कुराहरू अध्ययन गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ । के तपाईं अरू मानिसहरूजस्तै बन्न चाहनुहुन्न, जसले अध्ययनबिना जीवनको आनन्द लिनुहुन्छ ? के तपाईंले गर्न सक्ने सबै कुरा अध्ययन नै हो ? तपाईं हरेक दिन उठ्नुहुन्छ, आफ्ना कक्षाहरू लिनुहुन्छ र तपाईं सबै समय किताबहरूमा झुन्डिरहनुभएको छ । आफ्नो वरिपरि हेर्नुहोस् ।" यी डरलाग्दा आवाजहरू हराउन थालेपछि म भ्रममा पर्न थाल्छु । मेरो वरिपरि डरलाग्दो अनुहार भएका किताबहरू तैरिरहेका छन् । म मेरो कपाल तान्छु र मेरो दिमागमा चिच्याउँछु । के भइरहेको छ ? रोक्नुहोस्, रोक्नुहोस् !" म आत्तिन थाल्छु ।

त्यसपछि कसैले ढोका ढकढक्याएको सुन्छु । मलाई चेतनाको अनुभूति हुन्छ, त्यसैले म हतार हतार ढोकातिर दौडेर खोल्छु । मलाई अचम्म लाग्यो, ढोकामा कोही थिएन । त्यहाँ कोही नदेखेर म मर्न डराएँ । अर्को कुरा मलाई सम्झना छ, म भोलिपल्ट बिहान मेरो ओछ्यानमा उठेको छु ।

GLOBAL WARMING
- Saphal Subedi - 23063, Grade ... 09 February, 2022

Global warming is the phenomenon where earth temperature rises due to an increased amount of greenhouse gas. It is alerting our planet every year. Greenhouse gas traps heat and raises global temperature and causes Hurricanes, increases wildfire, food supply disruptions, huge smog etc. All over the world animals are under the threat of climate change. The gasses such as methane, ozone and carbon dioxide trap the incoming radiation from the sun. Greenhouse effect creates a blanket which prevents the heat from escaping back into the atmosphere. 

Greenhouse effect is not bad for creatures on earth, in fact it is quite important for creatures on life on earth. Due to global warming the polar region ice caps begin to melt and rise in sea level. Greenhouse effect is caused when polar ice caps and sea ice melts. This is due to the fact the ice reflects 50% to 70% of the sun rays back to space, but without ice the solar radiation gets absorbed. Sea water reflects only 6% of the sun rays back to space. If ice melts significantly it contributes to global warming When this phenomenon goes out of control it is called the runaway greenhouse effect. This is like an apocalypse, but it is all too real. Though this has not happened in earth's history, it is speculated to have occurred on Venus. Millions of years ago Venus was thought to have an atmosphere like earth’s temperature. But due to runaway greenhouse effect surface temperatures around the Venus planet began rising. If this occurs on earth, the runaway greenhouse effect leads to many unpleasant scenarios- temperature will rise hot enough for oceans to evaporate. Once the oceans evaporate, the rocks will start to sublimate under the Heat. The cause of global warming is Volcanic eruptions are also responsible for global warming. That is to say, these eruptions release a lot of carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming. Similarly, methane gas is also one big issue responsible for global warming. After overuse of automobiles and fossil fuels results in increased levels of carbon dioxide. In addition, activities like mining and cattle rearing are very harmful to the environment. One of the most common issues that are taking   place rapidly is deforestation. When one of the biggest sources of absorption of carbon dioxide will disappear, there will be nothing left to regulate the gas. Thus, it will result in global warming. Steps must be taken immediately to stop global warming and make the earth better again. When you go shopping, carry your own cloth bag instead of a plastic bag. Next step is to limit the use of electricity which will prevent the release of carbon dioxide. Deforestation must be stopped immediately and planting trees must be encouraged. 
At last, all of us must realize the fact that our earth is not well. It needs treatment and we can help it to heal. The present generation must take responsibility for stopping global warming in order to prevent the suffering of next or future generations. Therefore, every little step, no matter how small, carries a lot of weight and is quite significant in stopping global warming.

Teachings of Bhagavad Gita
- Kabin Rijal - 22010, Grade XI ... 09 February, 2022

This universe is much more vast than what humans can imagine. God, in my perspective, is the one who knows the beginning and end of this universe. I used to be someone who didn't believe in Gods a few years ago. I've discovered an entirely new perspective on things since I began to read holy books. In today's world, faith in God is disappearing. Humans have developed to the point where they believe they are far more powerful than other species. To achieve immortality, we are improving technology and generating more offspring. Humanity is losing sight of the fact that everything that comes into this earth must be destroyed. People are killing humanity to survive in this world. This only signifies that the end of humanity as a species is not that far away.

The Bhagavad Gita is said to contain knowledge of everything. What I've discovered while reading the Bhagavad Gita is that the greatest weapon of any human being is secrets of his own, not wealth. To survive in this world, we must never reveal our weaknesses to others. We never know when our friend turns into a foe. The Bhagavad Gita also taught us the value of diligence and focus in our lives. How we can rapidly increase our rate of success through life focus. Taking one example : Arjuna, a successful warrior athlete, was eating his dinner one evening. There was a lamp, and when a gust of wind blew, the lamb blew out, and Arjuna continued to eat. Then he suddenly realized” Oh, there's no light around, it's dark, but I'm still able to eat; my hand is making its way to my mouth; if I can eat in the dark, I can practice in the dark.” From that day onward, Arjuna stopped sleeping at night and would practice during the day and have dinner practice all through the night. So the level of diligence and focus displayed by Arjuna, who had a perfect record of victory in all of his battles, was unparalleled.

The Bhagavad Gita also warns us about the negative consequences of laziness. If we choose the path of no work, we will choose the path of laziness. We know what to do, but we don't do it. If it weren't for this carelessness, this negligence, we would make rapid progress. So laziness is a reality of our lives. The body and mind are placed in such a way that if we give them freedom, they will become our masters of our soul in one way, and other way  they will also be the worst masters as the body will say, "I want to sleep," and the mind will say, "I want entertainment." So we must subdue them and make them our servants, and they will become the best servants.

Why does a degree no longer matter in light of self-study?
- Shashwot Poudyal - 23039, Gra ... 08 February, 2022

Degrees are expected to make you wiser but that’s not a degree, that’s education that makes you wiser and many of us are confined within the thought that having a degree means to be educated. Being educated means a lot more than just a degree.
Market economics says that a market is based upon demand and supply; lower the supply greater is the demand and greater the supply lower is the demand. In the early 90s the supply of educated manpower was extremely low which made the demand of educated manpower extremely high but now as the supply of educated manpower is up to the greatest extent its demand is no longer as high as it previously was. It costs more than a core to study MBBS and the fresher’s aren’t paid even in lakhs. Student are there to take on loans worth 100,s of thousand dollars to study but where’s the capacity of that degree to pay them back ?It doesn’t work to spend a life working just to repay one's student debt.
In the context worldwide, it is entrepreneurs who have made a difference in society. It was Mark Zuckerberg who made the world a global village, and it was Larry page and Sergey Brin who stored the world of information behind one bar named Google. Where has a college degree made a difference in the present context? Its education that has made the difference in the society and the one who are self-educated are the ones to make the difference .It does not matter if they are a drop out or an A+ holder, what matters now is how capable are they to interpret the market and solve the existing issues in the market .
It’s one of the cheapest motivations today to say millionaires were a failure so am I but millionaires were not a failure and if they do where they were the ones to bounce back the hardest. They may be college dropouts but were the ones to scatter the libraries. Education is what matters today no matter in the form of how it arrives one must learn to grab it and education must be sought behind the vision of a degree to make an impact on today’s globalized global village. If not being a Nepali we have witnessed people with degrees staying unemployed or working as laborers in the gulf. At the very moment we have witnessed the ones with the same degree holders to execute the gulf .Technology giant Google is led by Sundar Pichai who has a degree in metallurgy and not all metallurgy engineers are Sundar Pichai despite having the very same degree. What made a difference is education beyond the bars, not a degree.
Elon musk once said if someone is educated from a reputed college it may seem he is well talented but that’s not always the case but if someone is educated by themselves they are the one capable of just conquering anything that’s on the path. It was education that has made all the difference. The ones who are into self-study are the ones to found the business giants and are the one to be business tycoons all over the world but no one having just a degree is a self-made business-tycoon anywhere in the world .Its way better to have a degree than not have one but everyone should ask if that degree on itself is capable enough to make a impact in such competitive market?

“Friend”
- Samrat Nakarmi - 22011, Grade ... 08 February, 2022

Everyday after school, I meet up with my best friend. To tell you about my friend, she’s great! She understands everything I say, and is always there when I cry. Oh yeah, I cry a lot. All the kids in school treat me very differently. They say I’m a weird kid who is crazy. Before, I used to cry alone. I went way into the forest, a place all adults tell kids not to go to. But on days when I could not control myself, I ran into the forest. I stayed there for a long time. Some days I stayed  there for hours on end. I stopped doing that, however, after I met the friend I was talking about. She sat beside me out of nowhere one day. It wasn’t some place a kid like her should be in but I wasn’t one to talk. I assumed she had a situation similar to mine so I started talking to her. And that was exactly when it started. After that, we met up everyday in front of my house and started hanging out. She was my first and only friend. So, I talked a lot. She didn’t talk much, she just listened. I paid it no mind though. I wasn’t going to judge someone else the same way others did to me. She became my only friend and I hers. That made me strong enough not to cry due to the school bullies.

When I first met her in the forest, I asked her for her name. She seemed aloof as if she didn’t know her name. All she did was stare at the sky. So, I took the privilege of picking a name for her. Since she always stared at the sky, I called her ‘Stella’. She seemed happy, at least I think she did since she cracked a smile. I’ve been calling her Stella ever since.

I invite her to my home sometimes. My mom seems to act weird whenever she comes over. Her face seemed worried, I don’t know why. Maybe because she’s so thin that she got worried if she’s eating. Another weird thing my mom does is always serve for one person, my half, when she’s around. I’ve told her to bring for Stella so many times but I guess she forgets every time. So, I go and grab her half everytime. We also play together in the park. The people look at me with weird eyes everytime I play so I get angsty but playing with Stella was enough to make me ignore them.

One day my mom got curious about Stella. Must be because the people saw us playing together in the park and talked about it with my mom. So, I told her all about Stella. How I met her, her name and everything we do throughout our time together. I could not understand my mom’s expression when I told her about Stella. But then again, there are a lot of weird things adults do that I don’t understand.

For a few months, everything went normally. I went to school, got picked at and came back. Well, maybe it wasn’t so normal. But it felt so to me since it happened to me on a daily basis. I disregarded the thought though. Now that I had a friend, it was useless to get worked up about it. Having said that, strange things kept on happening. My mom took me to the hospital more frequently. People in white coats talked to me for lengthy periods. They asked me how I spend my day, and what I do at school. All seemed strange to me, but I guess my mother got worked up about me being ostracized but I’d grown calluses toward it. That’s how a series of months flew by under my eye.
It was finally here, the month of spooks as they say. October, the month of Halloween, the nights of terror, desolation, trepidation and horrors to come. At least that’s what they say and want us to believe but we knew that it was a time of fun. Dress up as cute ghosts and get treats. Couldn’t be a better holiday for us. I mean who wouldn’t want a basket full of treats. And unlike all the other times, this time I had someone to accompany me. That’s right, Stella. I’d prepared a cute vampire dress for the both of us. Took me a few weeks to prepare it but it was worth the pain. You could even say both of us looked bloody good. Anyway, judgement day arrived. Well, night to be specific, but that’s beside the point.

We head out to the front door. My mom was waiting there for me to see me off. I felt like this was such an auspicious day, we definitely need a picture of this moment, especially me with Stella. So, I asked my mom to take a picture for me. She seemed hesitant, I don’t know why. I mean what kind of mother wouldn’t wanna take a picture of their own son with his friend. I sort of forced mom to take the picture and went on with our journey across the city.

The trick-or-treat part didn’t go as I thought it would, however. I was still getting chocolates and other goodies like usual. But the eerie thing was that Stella wasn’t getting any. I thought it was whatever for the first few houses but it went on. Everyone continued to ignore her even though I signalled that she was actually there. All of them just laughed as if it was a part of my play. I, however, wasn’t so jolly about it. I got very furious. So much so, that I decided to return back home without even getting through the block.

When we got back home another weird thing happened. There were people there. People other than my mom. People who seemed familiar to me. It was the same people in white who used to talk to me for lengthy periods of time. Why were they there? It all seemed so…sudden. Also with Stella being ignored the whole day, everything was so unreal.

I’d guessed the people were doctors since they dress in white coats as well. The one who seemed like the head doctor approached me and asked me about Stella, about how I met her, how I know her and all sorts of things. The feeling that I got during this interrogation was the same as the time before during trick-or-treat. But this time I was sure, he spoke with the clear intention that Stella wasn’t real. In the end, he told me something that was hard for me to swallow. He told me that my friend, my only friend, wasn’t actually real. The audacity, it was laughable with the claims. What did he know about her? Sure she didn’t talk much but she was there for me when others weren’t. He had no right to speak about her as if she didn’t exist. Infuriated, I had decided to shut him up. We had taken a picture together earlier. If I just show it to him then he will have to admit that he was wrong. I snatched the iPad from my mom and opened the gallery. Now he would surely admit that he was wrong. What? The picture…it wasn’t complete. This had to be some kind of glitch or a mistake. Why was I the only one in it? This didn’t make any sense. This is like– it's as if what the doctor said was true. Is it? I don’t know. I panicked and looked up to see that she wasn’t there. Stella was nowhere to be seen. Surely this was a dream. I had to wake up, right? I pinched myself, cried, jumped, did everything that I possibly could but I didn’t wake up. Meaning, this was reality. The doctor stepped forward to explain. No, no, no I couldn’t accept it. 
I ran. Ran away from my home and into the forest. The doctors couldn’t catch up to me. I went blindly ahead. I tripped, fell, got caught in a bush, but I still kept running. I reached the place where I always went before. The days when I used to cry. Never had I thought that I would come back. Especially after meeting Stella. I stayed there for a long time. I couldn’t think of anything. Just when my eyes were about to fall into slumber, I saw her. Her, the girl, Stella. Ha ha. I knew it was a mistake. She was right there, with me.

***

Unable to pursue the boy, the mom and the doctors called the police. They arrived at the scene shortly with their torches lit bright and trained K9s at the leash. The mother was emotionally unstable so she had to be put aside. The doctors explained the situation in her stead. After getting up to speed, the police covered the entire forest and started entering. They checked each bush, pit, opening, you name it. They came across a restricted area. They found it strange. They looked it up in their database. Surprisingly, the entire forest was a remnant of some facility. A military facility, now abandoned. What was left in it were the landmines to keep trespassers out but they were mostly inactive. Seeing a gap big enough that a child could enter, they were convinced that the boy went in there. So they went in. As they grew closer, the dogs grew agitated, signalling that their person was close. And so he was. The boy nestled underneath a tree. But they found it strange. The boy was talking. He had to be the only one there. They shone their flashlights in the direction of the boy. What welcomed them was a sight of despair. There was a corpse, rotting with worms and bugs making it their home. Some cops looked away in disgust while others were in shock. The body description of the girl however was familiar to the cops. It was something that seemed familiar to them. One of the cops opened their case-files titled ‘Missing’. And there she was. The girl. The same girl who the boy was so fond of. The exact depiction of what he described her as. The date however, was 10 years ago. The boy had made a friend. A friend with a girl who was no longer alive. A friend who died. A ghost.

कर भनेको के हो ?
- Arya Tharu - 22006, Grade XII ... 08 February, 2022

कर भनेको हामी सबैले सधैँ सुन्दै र तिर्दै आइरहेका छौँ तर खासमा कर भनेको के हो ? कर एक अनिवार्य वित्तीय शुल्क हो वा विभिन्न सरकारी खर्च तिर्न सर्वसाधारणबाट उठाइएको शुल्क हो । सरकारले हरेक वस्तु, साधन, हरेक मानिसको आम्दानी तथा व्यापारिक नाफामा कर लगाएको हुन्छ । कर समयमा भुक्तानी गर्न असफल भएमा वा कर छली गरेमा कानुनले दण्ड दिने हक पनि रहेको हुन्छ । देशको राजस्व आम्दानी गर्न संसारका लगभग हरेक देशमा कर लगाइएको हुन्छ । करहरू धेरै प्रकारका हुन्छन्, जस्तैः सम्पत्ति कर, आय कर, बिक्री कर, मूल्य अभिवृद्धि कर र अन्य ।
कर भनेको जनताबाट पैसा उठाउने सरकारको माध्यम हो । कर कुनै पनि देशका लागि धेरै महत्त्वपूर्ण हुन्छ किनभने कर हामी सर्वसाधारणको हितमा नै प्रयोग हुन्छ । सरकारले करको मद्दतले नै हामीलाई सुविधाहरू दिने गर्दछ । सरकारले करको माध्ययमबाट नै स्वास्थ्यको सुविधा, शिक्षाको सुविधा, सुरक्षाको सुविधा र अन्य थुप्रै सुविधाहरू प्रदान गर्छ र सरकारका लागि काम गर्ने हरेक कर्मचारीको ज्याला र तलब यही करबाट दिइन्छ ।

धेरै मानिसहरूले प्रत्येक वर्ष, प्रत्येक दिन कर तिरेको गुनासो गर्छन् र सबै करहरू सरकारको खल्तीमा जान्छ भन्ने कुरा सोच्छन् तर त्यस्तो नभएर सरकारले विभिन्न विकास कार्य र जनताको कल्याणमा कर प्रयोग गर्छ । कसले तिर्ने भन्ने आधारमा करलाई विभिन्न किसिममा वर्गीकरण गरिएको छः प्रत्यक्ष र अप्रत्यक्ष कर ।

प्रत्यक्ष कर व्यक्तिहरूमा लगाइने कर हाे । प्रत्यक्ष कर करदाताको कुल आम्दानीमा लगाइन्छ । प्रत्यक्ष कर भन्नाले कुनै व्यक्ति वा संस्थाले उक्त संस्थालाई प्रत्यक्ष रूपमा तिर्ने कर हो । उदाहरणको लागि हामीले विभिन्न सम्पत्ति कर, आय कर, बिक्री करहरू सिधै सरकारलाई तिर्छौं । धेरै मानिसहरूलाई थाहा नहोला कि व्यावहारिक रूपमा सबैले कर तिर्छन्, विशेष गरी अप्रत्यक्ष करहरू । यो किनभने हामीले उपभोग गर्ने लगभग सबै उत्पादनहरूमा कर लगाइएको हुन्छ । सरल भाषामा परिभाषित गर्नुपर्दा अप्रत्यक्ष कर भन्नाले कुनै व्यक्ति वा संस्थाले उक्त संस्थालाई अप्रत्यक्ष रूपमा तिर्ने कर हो । अप्रत्यक्ष करहरू वस्तु र सेवाहरूको उत्पादन वा आयात र निर्यात वा लेनदेनहरूमा लगाइन्छ । अप्रत्यक्ष करहरूमा बिक्री कर, अन्तःशुल्क कर, भन्सार करहरू समावेश हुन्छन् ।

लुडविग भ्यान बिथाेभेन
- Sashwat Paudel - 23038, Grade ... 08 February, 2022

लुडविग भ्यान बिथाेभेन एक जर्मन पियानोवादक र सङ्गीतकार थिए, जाे व्यापक रूपमा संसारका सबैभन्दा उत्कृष्ट सङ्गीतकार मानिन्छन् । बुबा जोहान भ्यान बिथाेभेन र आमा मारिया माग्डालेना केभेरिचका जेठा छोरा लुडविग भ्यान बिथाेभेनको जन्म डिसेम्बर, १७७० मा जर्मनीको बोनमा भएको थियो । उनी सङ्गीतकारले भरिएको परिवारमा जन्मिएको थिए । उनको बुबा जोहान भ्यान बिथाेभेन एक फ्लेमिस-जर्मन सङ्गीतकार, शिक्षक तथा गायक थिए जाे कोलोनको आर्कबिसपको च्यापलमा प्रस्तुति गर्थे । बिथोभेका बुबा मदिरा सेवनको कुलतमा फसेका थिए र लुडविगलाई दुर्व्यवहार गर्थे । दुर्व्यवहार गरे पनि सुरुवाती चरणमा कठोर र गहन रूपमा उनले बिथाेभेनलाई सङ्गीत सिकाएका थिए । बिथाेभेनको सङ्गीत प्रतिभा सानै उमेरमा देखिएकाले जोहानले उनको उमेर घटाएर वास्तविकताभन्दा कम उमेरको देखाउने अनेक प्रयास पनि गरेका थिए । अपमानजनक परिवारमा हुर्के पनि उनले सङ्गीतलाई अँगाले र इतिहासकै सर्वश्रेष्ठ रचनाकारहरूमध्ये एक बन्न पुगे । 

लुडविग भ्यान बिथाेभेनले लेखेका र प्रदर्शन गरेका अनेक कृतिहरू पश्चिमी सङ्गीत इतिहासमा रहेका प्रशंसनीय कृतिहरूमध्ये पर्दछन् । उनका कृतिहरू पश्चिमी शास्त्रीय सङ्गीतमा व्यापक रूपमा प्रदर्शन भएका कृतिहरूको माझमा पर्छन् । उनको सङ्गीतलाई भावनामा परिणत गर्ने क्षमताका कारणले उनलाई इतिहासकै सबैभन्दा प्रतिभाशाली सङ्गीतकारको रूपमा चिन्ने गरिन्छ ।

बिथाेभेन केवल यही कारणले मात्रै सफल भएका हैनन् । उनको जीवनबाट हामीले असङ्ख्य प्रेरणा पाउन सक्छौँ । छब्बिस वर्षको कलिलो उमेरदेखि नै उनले बहिराेपन महसुस गर्न थाले । सङ्गीतकार हुनुको ठुलो हिस्सा भनेको आफूले रचना गरेका सुमुधुर धुनहरूको मज्जा लिनु हो । बिथाेभेनले अब यो कार्य गर्न सक्दैनथे । उनको बहिराेपन अस्थिर र  प्रगतिशील थियो । प्रगतिशील भएका कारण उनले एक्कासि आफ्नो श्रवण शक्ति गुमाएका थिएनन् । उनको बहिराेपन अलिकति अलिकति  गर्दै समयसँगै खराब हुँदै गयो । आफ्नो ब्यथा उनले “heiligenstadt testament” मा पोखेका थिए, “तर कस्तो अपमान, जब मेरो छेउमा बसेकोले टाढा टाढाबाट बाँसुरीको सुमुधुर धुन सुन्ने मौका पायो तर मैले केही पनि सुनिनँ । कसैले दुर कतै गोठालाले गएको सुन्यो तर फेरि मैले केही पनि सुनिनँ । यस्ताे घटनाले मलाई निराशाको छेउमा पुर्याएको थियो र मैले मेरो जीवनको अन्त्य गर्ने सोचेँ तर केवल कलाले मलाई रोकेको थियो । यो संसार त्याग्न तबसम्म असम्भव मानेँ, जबसम्म मैले आफूले उत्पादन गर्न सकेजति नगरेसम्म । त्यसैले मैले यो दयनीय अस्तित्व सहेर बसेँ ।”

बहिरो हुनु सामान्य मानिसका लागि पनि सुखद अनुभव हैन । शरीरका लागि महत्त्वपूर्ण हुने इन्द्रियहरूमध्ये एक गुमाउनु जोसुकैका लागि डरलाग्दो हुन्छ । एक प्रतिभाशाली सङ्गीतकारले आफ्नो श्रवण शक्ति गुमाउनु भनेको आफ्नो जोस तथा आफ्नो जीवनको भविष्यलाई जोखिममा राख्नु हो । बिथाेभेनको भविष्यका लागि यो ठुलो चुनौती थियो किनभने श्रवण शक्ति गुमाउनु भनेको सङ्गीतको आधा हिस्सा गुमाउनु हो ।

आश्चर्यको कुरा के हो भने बिथाेभेनले आफ्नो कार्यकालका सबैभन्दा प्रतिष्ठित र व्यापक रूपमा ज्ञात कृतिहरू यही समयमा लेखेका थिए । उनले सुन्न नसके पनि आफ्नो प्रतिभाको प्रयोग गरेर कृतिहरू रचना गरेका थिए । उनी आफूले प्रदर्शन गर्न नसके पनि रचना गर्थे तर प्रदर्शन गर्ने काम कोही आर्कै व्यक्तिले गर्थे । मुनलाइट सोनाटा, ह्यामरक्लाभियर र अन्य सिम्फोनीहरू उनले आफू बहिरो हुँदै गर्दा रचना गरेका थिए । नवाैँ सिम्फाेनी लेख्दा त उनी पूर्णतया बहिरा नै थिए । उनी यी कृतिहरू रचना गर्दा पूर्ण रूपमा बहिरा भए पनि यी रचनाले बिथाेभेनलाई पश्चिमी शास्त्रीय सङ्गीतमा पौराणिक व्यक्तित्वको स्थान दिलाएका छन् ।

५६ वर्षको उमेरमा उनले आफ्नो अन्तिम श्वास फेरे ।  उनको जीवनबाट हामीले बुझ्न सक्छौँ कि जस्तो परिस्थिति आइपरे पनि हार मान्नु हुँदैन । बिथाेभेनले हार मानेका भए उनका सबैभन्दा प्रसिद्ध रचनाहरूमा जस्तै “सि माइनर, ओपमा सिम्फाेनी नम्बर ५” आज हुने थिएनन् । मुनलाइट सोनाटाजस्ता रचनाहरू हुने थिएनन् । सङ्गीतकलाका माध्यमबाट भावना महसुस गराउने शक्ति भएका लुडविग भ्यान बिथाेभेन एक उत्कृष्ट सङ्गीतकार हुन् र उनका रचनाहरूले विश्वव्यापी सफलता हासिल गरेका छन् ।

Importance of Trust in one's life

The term “Trust” means to rely on another person because one feel safe with them and has confidence that they will not hurt or betray you. Trust is the foundation in any relationship. Trust is fundamental to life, if you can't  trust in anything, life becomes intolerable. One cannot have a good relationship without trust. If you don't trust you will always feel insecure somewhere with the other one. A trusted relationship can be with anybody in the life we are connected to such as :- Mother, Father, relatives, friends, life partner, business partner, son, daughter etc. Trust is not shown only with others but also trust is shown within ownself. If you can't trust yourself, your capability or your ability to do something in your life can never be achieved. Success is far until you trust onself.

In today's world Trust has become the most important part in one's life. There is a lack of Trust with everyone you are engaged with. Also loving someone is way easier than trusting anybody. There are some few elements that hold our world together. The one that is the backbone of the society is Trust. Trust is hard to define, but we always know it when it's lost. When that happens, we withdraw our energy and level of engagement. We go on an internal strike, not wanting to be sympathetic to the person who we feel has hurt us. Once we will break someone's Trust, then the other person is likely to never Trust on you for the same reason. As a result, the person pulls back from us and will no longer feel part of their world. This loss of Trust can be obvious or somewhat hidden. On the other hand, trust makes people feel eager to be a part of a relationship, group, or company. And it makes people feel comfortable to depend on each other. When trust is not broken , we will be ready to contribute what is needed  from our side not just by offering our presence but also by sharing our dedication, skills and energy. Whereas if the level of trust is low in a relationship or organization, people limit their involvement with everything related to a person. People often feel that distrust is not safe to share. So a person who may be a leader or loved one may be slow to discover that they have lost a person's trust. When we depend on a leader, family member or friend, we can feel vulnerable, and we need trust to manage the anxiety of the feeling. When trust is present, things go well, but when trust is lost, the relationship is at risk. Today many marriages are being wrecked just because of the lack of trust.

Today everyone has some sort of problems. Everyone needs support not only financially but also moral or emotional support. One can just give emotional support by just trusting him/her. If you fully trust somebody then, the other person also feels somewhere bad when betraying your trust and one day he will surely feel sorry about you. People have become so selfish that it's hard to even trust anybody for small works. That's why today every organization, every person keeps paper documents or clips as evidence for their work with others, not because it's mandatory. There is a trust issue within us and within everybody. People while giving just small work to somebody feels insecure until the work is completed just because of the trust issue. So i think that, in today's world, these are common, but to make the relationships best, you have to trust rather than anything.

The Vedas
- Apurba Adhikari - 22005, Grad ... 07 February, 2022

The word "Veda" is derived from the verb "Vid" and means "knowledge" or "means of acquiring knowledge". The Vedas are thought to have been created by God for the benefit of mankind long before humans were even created. It is said that there was only one Veda but later, during the period of Mahabharat, Maharshi Veda Vyasa divided the Veda into four parts, naming it Rig, Sama, Yajur, and Atharva Vedas.

The Vedas are a group of hymns and other ancient religious texts written between 1500 and 1000 BCE. It contains liturgical material as well as mythological accounts, poems, prayers, and formulas held sacred by the Hindu religion. Each Veda has a number of branches known as Shakas. Rig Veda, for example, has Shakala Shaka and Bhaskala. Similarly, Yajur Veda has Taittiriya and Katha, among many others. You can think of them as Physics departments (Atomic, Theoretical, Nuclear, Quantum, Thermodynamics, and more). The Vedas' goal is to assist mankind in maintaining consciousness of the soul within and preventing them from being dissatisfied in the materialistic world. The Vedas are primarily intended to be followed in order to sustain Dharmacharan (Righteousness) in society and maintain man's happiness. Following the Vedas as a result aids man in achieving Final Liberation (Moksha). The Vedas, on the other hand, are not solely concerned with spirituality and God-realization; they also contain worldly conceptions. Every Veda is related with a Deity, and has "Up Vedas" (sub-Vedas). The Rig Veda is related with Lord Brahma and has 8 branches and incorporates the Ayurveda (medication). The Yajur Veda is related with Lord Vishnu, has 86 branches and incorporates the Dhanurveda (combative techniques). The Samaveda is likewise connected with Lord Vishnu, has 1000 branches and incorporates the Gandharvaveda (investigation of all artistic expressions: including music, dance and verse). The Atharvaveda is related with Lord Indra, has 9 branches and incorporates the Arthashastra (monetary approach and military procedure).

Not believing in religion is a common trend now, but I believe the idea of Science is not to not believe in religion but to question everything and you cannot disprove something you have no knowledge about. So, I think everyone should read texts like Vedas or the Bible at least once in their life.

साथीकाे बिदाइ
- Safal Gautam - 22016, Grade X ... 07 February, 2022

१२ कक्षा उत्तीर्ण भएपछि हामी मात्र नभई हामीजस्ता कति विद्यार्थीहरू आफ्नो बाँकी पढाइ पुरा गर्न विदेश जाने गर्दछन् । मैले अहिले “किन गएको ? नेपालमै बसेर पढे हुन्छ नि ।” भन्न वा जताउन खोजेको चाहिँ होइन ।

मेरो शीर्षकबाटै थाहा पाइसक्नुभयो होला । सबै त भन्दिनँ म तर हामी धेरैजना एक न एकचोटि आफ्नो साथी वा आफन्तलाई बिदाइ गर्न एयरपोर्ट गएको छौँ होला । म गएको छु र जान लागेको छु, जब मेरो साथी वा कोही एकदम मिल्ने आफन्त विदेश जान लागेको छ ।
पहिले त मलाई “विदेश त गएको हो, फर्किहाल्छ चाँडै । किन सधैँभरिका लागि जान लागेको जस्तो गरेर बसेको ?” भन्ने भावना आउँदथ्यो तर म एकदम गलत रहेछु । पछि गएर कुनै दिन त्यो देखिराख्ने मानिस गएको असर पर्न थाल्दाे रहेछ ।

मैले सुरुमा यस्तो भावना कक्षा ५ मा महसुस गरेको थिएँ । म भर्खरभर्खर जन्मिएर १८ दिनकाे हुँदा इटाली जानुभएको मेरो सानो बुबा कति वर्षपछि नेपाल आउनुभयो र आफूसँगै सानी ममी र मेरी सानी बहिनीलाई पनि ल्याउनुभयो । मलाई अझै पनि याद छ, जब उहाँ फिर्ता जाने दिन थियाे, मलाई त्यस्ताे ठुलो असर केही पनि परेन । पछि मात्र महसुस भयो कि उहाँ त दुनियाँको अर्को कुनामा हुनुहुुन्छ त । अस्ति चितवनबाट २ दिनमै फर्किएजस्तो कहाँ मिल्छ र ?

अर्को कुरा भनेको चाहिँ मात्र एक आमा अथवा बुबाले महसुस गर्न सक्ने कुरा हो । आफ्नो छोरा विदेश एक्लै जाँदै छ ? र एक्लै आउँछ ? थाहा हुँदैन । किन मैले यो कुरा उठाएँ भन्दा मेरी हजुरआमा सानो बुबा फिर्ता जाँदा रोएको मलाई याद आउँछ । सानो बुबा फेरि पछि पनि ४ चोटि फिर्ता आइसक्नुभयो तापनि मलाई यही भावनाले हरेक पटक असर गरिरहन्छ ।

अर्को किस्सा भने मेरो साथीसँग सम्बन्धित छ । अचम्मको कुरा यो रहेको छ कि मलाई आफैँ थाहा छैन कि को साथी कता गयो भनेर । धेरै साथीलाई सोधेँ पनि कि कता छस् ? भनेर । कोही १० कक्षा सकेपछि नै पढ्न भनेर विदेश गइसकेछन्, काेही भने ११ पास भएर फेरि विदेश जाने अनि ११-१२ त्यहीँ गर्ने भनेर बसिरहेछन् ।

तिनै साथीहरूमध्ये अस्ति एकदमै मिल्ने साथी स्विट्जरल्यान्ड गयो पढ्न । एयरपोर्ट जाने योजना त थियो मेरो तर साथी दिउँसो जाँदै थियाे र मेरो पढाइ हुने बेला भएको कारणले उसकाे बिदाइमा जान पाइनँ । अझै पनि म विश्वास गर्न सकिरहेको छैनँ कि अब म उसलाई कति वर्षपछि भेट्छु भनेर । १० वर्ष सँगै पढेर हामी दुई जना यसरी छुटेछौँ ।

अर्को साथी पनि जाँदै छ अब । ५ वर्ष सँगै खेल्यौँ र समय बितायौँ । अब ठुलाे भएपछि काठमाडौँको कुनै चिया पसलमा भेटेर आफ्नो बालापनको कुरा गर्ने छौँ भनेर मेरो दिमागमा यो कुरा खेलिरहन्छ । यसरी नै अब कति साथी जाने छन् । कुनै दिन म पनि जाउँला विदेश आफ्नो घरपरिवार र साथीहरू छोडेर । कोही त रोलान् नि म गएको देखेर ।
